Applications

BTC’s additives Irgacure® photoinitiators are essential components for the UV curing process. Our Irgacure® range is the industry standard for initiating the polymerisation process to quickly reach the final cross-linked printing ink and overprint varnish. Curing faster and more economically than traditional methods, UV- and electron-beam curing lead to a higher efficiency with substantial savings in energy, time and labour. At the same time, higher gloss and resistance improve the overall quality of the print.
